Apex in a tootin mood today. Roy

I have been at sea several times in early January but never caught a sunrise (or set) on January 7 We had a week of early spring but it's back to January. I can't complain as there was snow on the ground a year ago. This was taken just before starting my morning walk: Roy

No bobbleheads for me, and programmers are extremely important. I did google old rocks day and it's the rocks that together make up the rock we call home. I've been to Eneanada once (Carnival Inspiration) and that was enough for me. I like the quote and the meal sounds nice. My alternative is Classic Caesar Salad, Broiled New York Striploin and Pineapple Crisp as served on MS Prinsendam January 7, 2019. Today’s care list: Kazu in hospital in Puerto Vallarta JazzyV pain issues Those in path of California storms HAL Sailer DBIL in final days and family squabbles Ominous scan for Marshhawk Scrapnana From the rotation: Cruising-along niece awaiting a kidney Status of St. Louis Sal (7/1) and JAM37 (7/7) Demar Hamlin much improved but still critical Celebrations and Shoutouts: Nieuw Statendam in Everglades Bon Voyage GTVCRUISER(1/14) and DeeniEncinetas (Koningsdam 1/7 to 1/31) Cruisin Terri home ready for return except for bedding Welcome home crystalspin, Copper10-8,Vict0riann, Av8rix, crystalspin, and Victoriann , sailingdutchty (Koningsdam to 1/31), Damcruiser (Nieuw Statendam to 1/14), Aliaschief (Onward to 1/17) Seasick Sailor and ger_77 (Rotterdam to 1/25), lindaler and ottahand7(Volendam to 3/18), and Cat in My Lap, Gail&Marty,richwmn and HorizonChaser1957 (Zuiderdam to 5/12) at sea Roy

Tomorrow. @leerathje are you prepared to carry on for a while? Have you seen the latest posts on/from @Scrapnana? Extremely sad. Roy

Oh my God. Wishing you quick healing and a safe return home. Roy

I saw that but wondering what I missed. I didn't think she was having any issues that would cause this. Was it from the time she was tripped? Roy

Today's sunrise is from my 2019 Prinsendam Grand Southamerica and Antarctica cruise. January 6 was a sea day from Fort Lauderdale to Santa Marta. Roy

Kathi has posted to her blog and it's very serious. Keep her in your prayers: https://2022-2023hal.blogspot.com/ Roy

Today's report is really awesome. I can't believe it but he will come off the list tomorrow. The Zaandam sailaway today is really awesome. I watched the Miami webcam for @aliaschief but they got essentially no coverage and there were ample missed opportunities. @Heartgrove I did an early February cruise on the Carnival Pride and think you should be ok unless things get really COLD, I do wonder what Carnival is doing now about muster drill on the Spirit Class. That COULD be cold if it's under the lifeboats. Roy

What the Zaandam lost in quantity was made up in quality. After Island I think I'll head over to Miami where our first sailaway master @aliaschief is leaving on Azamara Onward at 5. Roy

A strong toot already is a good omen. Roy

My most travelled and favorite remaining BHB on the move. Roy

For the second day I have a sunset photo, both taken almost 1 tear apart from virtually the same place at the onset of a grand voyage. This was January 5, 2018 after embarking Crystal Serenity in Fort Lauderdale for the prelude to the 2-ship World Cruise: Roy

Well, it's Thursday (or Friday Junior as my local news crew calls it) and still warm but with more seasonal weather on the horizon. I'm not a birder and will pass on the Keto but will celebrate George Washington Carver and the Seneca quote. I have not been to Eden and will pass on the curry. My alternative is Salad of Arigula and Frisee, Rack of Lamb, and Strawberry Romanoff as served on MS Prinsendam January 5, 2019. I had forgotten to photograph the desert but the final panel is a couple of cookies from the Lido Ice Cream station. I am pleased that Demar Hamlin is improving but will keep him on the care list until he is breathing unaided.

I have a sunset today rather than a sunrise. It was taken January 4, 2019 after boarding MS Prinsendam for the start of her final Grand South America and Alaska voyage: Any speculation if/when Crystal might do a New England/Canada cruise out of New York or Boston? Roy
